I'm starting out as a web designer and today I'm filming a hairdresser for his website in 6 hours time. It's really important that I get it right as it can potentially lead to more work for me. It was a last minute appointment so I don't have time to get an HD camera, the S2 will have to do!

I really am just looking for any advice because I would hate for the camera to cut out half way through filming, to have horrible quality, or run out of space. I'm hand-held filming him do a hot shave, so no retakes, unless we pick the hairs off the floor and stick them back on the guys face...

So I just have a couple of questions:

Should I go with fine or superfine?
How much space will 30 mins take up for 1280x720 at superfine?
Does the camera cut out after 10 minutes or anything like that? I know some phones do this.
Do you have any other advice?
